Information processing apparatus, information processing system, information processing method, and storage medium

Abstract

An information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a first obtaining unit that obtains mode information indicating a set display mode and a second obtaining unit that performs a notification information obtaining process of obtaining notification information provided by a server system. The information processing apparatus further includes a display unit that displays a screen depending on the display mode and a notification image based on the notification information, a save unit that saves the notification information obtained by the second obtaining unit, and a control unit that controls the display unit. The control unit allows the display unit to display the notification image if the notification information saved in the save unit corresponds to the set display mode, and cause the display unit not to display the notification image if the notification information does not correspond to the display mode indicated by the mode information.

         20 . An information processing apparatus capable of displaying a home screen for a first mode in which buttons for instructing execution of functions are displayed, and a home screen for a second mode in which buttons for instructing execution of functions fewer than those displayed in the first mode are displayed, the information processing apparatus comprising:
 a display;   at least one processor; and   at least one memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to function as:   a display control unit capable of selectively displaying the home screen for the first mode and the home screen for the second mode on the display, and controlling display on the display of a notification image relating to functions of the information processing apparatus, wherein   when the home screen for the first mode is displayed, a button for displaying the notification image is displayed on the home screen for the first mode, and the notification image is displayed based on an operation being performed on the button for displaying the notification image, and   when the home screen for the second mode is displayed, the notification image is not displayed.   
     
     
         21 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 20 , wherein
 the button for displaying the notification image is displayed in a manner indicating that there is the notification image when there is the notification image, and the notification image is displayed based on the operation being performed on the button for displaying the notification image, displayed in the manner indicating that there is the notification image.   
     
     
         22 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 20 , wherein
 the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to further function as:   a setting unit configured to set whether or not to display the notification image, wherein   when the notification image is set to be displayed by the setting unit, the display control unit displays the notification image, based on the operation being performed on the button for displaying the notification image.   
     
     
         23 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 20 , wherein
 on the home screen for the second mode, the button for displaying the notification image is not displayed.   
     
     
         24 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 20 , wherein
 on the home screen for the first mode, a button for displaying the home screen for the second mode is displayed, and on the home screen for the second mode, a button for displaying the home screen for the first mode is displayed.   
     
     
         25 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 20 , wherein
 the notification image is acquired from an external server.   
     
     
         26 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 20 , wherein
 content of the notification image is any one of an advertisement relating to a recording material or a recording medium used for printing by the information processing apparatus, content relating to a web application available for use by the information processing apparatus, content relating to a firmware update of the information processing apparatus, and content relating to a print service provided by a server.   
     
     
         27 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 20 , wherein
 the information processing apparatus is an inkjet printer.   
     
     
         28 . An information processing method for an information processing apparatus capable of displaying a home screen for a first mode in which buttons for instructing execution of functions are displayed, and a home screen for a second mode in which buttons for instructing execution of functions fewer than those displayed in the first mode are displayed, comprising:
 selectively displaying one of the home screen for the first mode and the home screen for the second mode on the display; and   controlling display of a notification image relating to functions of the information processing apparatus, wherein   when the home screen for the first mode is displayed, a button for displaying the notification image is displayed on the home screen for the first mode, and the notification image is displayed based on an operation being performed on the button for displaying the notification image, and   when the home screen for the second mode is displayed, the notification image is not displayed.   
     
     
         29 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program code of an information processing method for an information processing apparatus capable of displaying a home screen for a first mode in which buttons for instructing execution of functions are displayed, and a home screen for a second mode in which buttons for instructing execution of functions fewer than those displayed in the first mode are displayed, the method comprising:
 selectively displaying one of the home screen for the first mode and the home screen for the second mode on the display; and   controlling display of a notification image relating to functions of the information processing apparatus, wherein   when the home screen for the first mode is displayed, a button for displaying the notification image is displayed on the home screen for the first mode, and the notification image is displayed based on an operation being performed on the button for displaying the notification image, and   when the home screen for the second mode is displayed, the notification image is not displayed.
